Smart card train travel plan for the South East

Journeys between London, Kent and parts of East Sussex will be made easier thanks to a £5.5 million plan to roll out smart cards across Southeastern’s network. Southeastern will bring in smart cards, initially for season tickets only, as an alternative to paper tickets from December 2016. This follows a deal with the Department for Transport (DfT) as part of the government-funded South East Flexible Ticketing (SEFT) programme.
